KLM to add 3 weekly flights on KL-Amsterdam route

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will mount three additional flights per week from Kuala Lumpur to Amsterdam between Oct 29 2012 and March 30 2013, as part of its new winter schedule.

This will bring the airline's total weekly flights to 17, of which seven are codeshare flights on aircraft operated by Malaysia Airlines.

KLM is offering a promotional fare for its new flights for bookings made from July 2 to 31.

"The extra flights provide extra capacity for KLM, especially as the KL International Airport in Sepang is a good hub for passengers travelling from Europe to Australia and New Zealand, and the new daytime flights complement our existing night flights to offer passengers more options and flexible timing," said KLM country manager Estee Ng in a statement today.

Passengers travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Amsterdam on the three new daytime flights will be able to save a day by arriving in Amsterdam on the same day. "Meanwhile, travellers from Amsterdam will arrive in Kuala Lumpur early in the morning to enjoy a full day, be it for work or leisure," Ng added.
